So now that the Holidays seem to be in full swing, what is everyone gonna put on their Christmas/Holiday Lists????

I think i'm gonna try to get a pedal or two seeing as I don't have any. I might try to get that Behringer tube screamer Wes mentioned a few weeks ago. And a lot of people seem to praise the PlaneTalk book/dvd so i might try to get that.

I'm sure that in reading your posts i'll find a few other things i can't live without.

I find the trouble with things you can't live without leads to depriving the Mrs of things SHE can't do without.....we've just had a new fireplace, I've decorated every room downstairs from the bathroom/toilet to the porch, through the kitchen and the living room, the hall stairs and landing.....so I thought, right, it's my turn.....

Ask me am I going to get a new guitar for Xmas......answer will be, I'll be lucky to get a new set of strings....and she wants all three upstairs rooms doing after Xmas.....

Sigh......it never stops......

And I thought a new Squier Tele (custom) was a perfectly reasonable request......

You can't win, you can't even draw these days - £700 for a carpet we don't particularly need is a normal request (I'ts for the house!") but £135 for a Squier Tele is, in her words, taking the mickey........

Ah well, just wait till she wants the bedrooms decorating.......

:D :D :D

Here's the plan Vic. You buy one of these

and the Tele hang it on the wall and call it decor.

Most likely I'll be getting what I get every year:

Guitar Strings (Wrong Gauge)

Guitar Picks (Wrong Gauge Again)

Socks and Underwear (Right Size I Hope)

I won't be getting anything too expensive as I bought an acoustic a few weeks ago. Vic you should try the old "I've probably saved us £135 by doing the decorating myself instead of getting the painters in" routine :lol: , sometimes works for me anyway. Celt my wife has gone shopping today with 2 empty string packages in her handbag (her idea) to make sure she gets the correct size. Its all in how well you train them. :wink:

Translation needed for those of us on this side of the Atlantic... "taking the mickey?"

I am sure its not flattering, but I have no idea what it means! (We speak the same language, don't we?)

That's a good link Arjen....hah, you should be glad I didn't write it in Lancashire dialect, instead of the Queen's English....

I may get another Squier '51. I have a 2-tone burst one now, so I may get the Butterscotch one.

HOHOHO!

I'm having a hard time. I've gotten two guitars this year and three last year, so I'm about full. Got plenty of strings, picks, straps, etc. I'm happy with my amps, although in a couple of years I can see myself in a Fender HRD.

No, I think this year will bring a few small ticket items like some CDs that I've been meaning to get and that's about it.
